Although these specimens have not yet been fully studied, some interesting features in the skulls of labyrinthodonts have been noted. Two specimens, apparently of the same species, but of a new genus, show details of the bones of the basicranial region that have not before been observed.In most labyrinthodonts, as has been pointed out by Case,2 there is a large amount of cartilage in the walls of the brain case.
